Rep Power: 17 | I dont think u'll be able to do it with Linux as it copies files after reboot. as well as before so image must be available all time but in your case it wouldnt be. Anyways I never tried it so I cant tell exactly although I worked with CD/DVD images before and Installed Linux off CDs... |

It's possible to run a bootloader that loads an image. Syslinux allows you to pass booting to another kernel. I really haven't had experience booting from an image, but with PXE booting a kernel, I know it can be done. | |
